Generating cash from counterparty negotiations and process improvements
Energy use, sources, delivery, and storage are all in transition. Players across the landscape must build capacity, improve sustainability, and provide an agile and resilient grid for shifting demand amid disruption and rising competition. Large investments at an unprecedented scale continue to be needed to support decarbonization.
As technology continues to evolve, legacy assets and skillsets may be rendered obsolete and will certainly transition. Effective asset management will be key to reducing stranded costs and protecting investments. At the same time, companies will need to navigate the patchwork of regulatory bodies and various incentive and requirement programs as energy policy evolves.
